Earth Child

THE WORLD OF MEN, WITH ALL ITS CONCEPTS AND BELIEFS, WAS STRANGE AND A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO THE BOY. He understood the real world around him, which was simple because the world told him everything he needed to know about it. The grass grew because it drank the water that fell from the sky and the water fell from the sky because the grass couldnt walk to a river like he could, it was all so simple.

In return for their life the plants blanketed the earth making everything lush and beautiful, thus pleasing creation. Animals grazed for a lifetime and when they died, they fed the grass. Everything was alive and had everything it needed to be alive; creation wanted life, loved life and nurtured it dearly. There was no need to fight to survive, all life was a gift and all life helped each other to live, and did so without any conflict only natural balance.
